New Delhi: The Rajya Sabha was adjourned for a while today over demands that the Ranganath Misra Commission report on reservation for Dalits and Muslims be tabled in parliament.

Ali Anwar Ansari of the Janata Dal-United (JD-U) raised the issue just as the house assembled. He flashed a Hindi newspaper in which he said the report had been leaked.

Chairman Hamid Ansari tried to restore calm by saying that the issue could be raised at 12 noon but Ali Anwar Ansari and two or three other MPs advanced towards the podium. At this, the chair adjourned the house for 10 minutes and asked leaders of all political parties to meet him in his chambers. (IANS)
